• Where to Fish on Fallsdale Pond

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Public occurrence data for Wayne County names yellow perch, bluegill and largemouth bass. The county list is broader than any single water. Treat Fallsdale Pond as a water to read rather than to cover.

The season between ice runs from about early April to mid December. Spring is short and heavy here; autumn is longer and steadier. Fallsdale Pond runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. The nearest alternative is Silver Lake, 1.5 miles out. Treat Fallsdale Pond as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
